ABOUT EAST ANTRIM VAPOUR BLASTERS

Carburrettors

Modern fuels are hygroscopic, that is – they absorb water from the atmosphere. With the E10 (ethanol) additive your carburettors have to handle a toxic mixture. This can result, after even a short layup, of rough running on small throttle openings. Carburettors will be stripped back to their aluminium core and ultra sonically cleaned. The exterior will then be vapour blasted to leave an as new finish. Any defects in the carburettor will noted in the accompanying report. Carburettors can be accepted complete at extra charge or stripped (see price list). If stripped bring the jets and other brass or alloy fittings and we will ultrasonically clean them separately at no extra charge.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

During Ultrasonic cleaning the carburettor body is immersed in a water / mild specialist detergent mixture for a time, and at a temperature, which removes deposits from the internal passageways of the carburettor. There is no other way of achieving this. It works by cavitation. Tiny bubbles are generated between the deposits and the alloy surface which gentle removes them without damage to the carburettor body.

Vapour Blasting

Vapour blasting is a low pressure system for cleaning aluminium without damage. It is suitable for cleaning gasket surfaces. Typically a mixture of 10% glass bead and 90% water, it runs at a similar pressure to a domestic mains water system. The glass bead is 70 microns. It is not suitable for removing paint or anodising. The cases are cleaned inside and out. Aside from the aesthetics it is much easier to ensure that all traces of the medium are rinsed after cleaning.
